Description

SPECIFICATION
Solderable adhesive layer The present invention relates to a solderable adhesive layer to a method of applying the layer and to devices provided with such a layer. Such layers are needed mainlyto make electrical contacts to or mechanical connections between components. They are particularly useful in making contacts to thin-film circuits deposited on semiconductor, glass or ceramic substrates.
To produce contact areas and interconnections in thin-film circuits, layers of copper, gold, or alumi- nium are commonly deposited in a vacuum. Such layers have the advantage of very high conductivity, but they have the disadvantage of not adhering well to the base, so that special precautions have to be taken during soldering.
The invention seeks to provide a layer which, is easily solderable and which also adheres well to a base material of for example glass or a semiconductor.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a solderable adhesive layer, for making electrical contacts to or mechanical connections between components, characterised in that the layer is a thin layer of an alloy comprising a metal and a metalloid.
According to another aspect of the invention the solderable adhesive layer as previously defined is produced by evaporation and or sputtering of the metal(s) and metalloid(s).
The layer of the invention has an added advantage in that it can be much thinner than conventional layers. A thickness of about 100 nm will be sufficient, while a copper layer must be about 3 Km thick. For special applications, it may be of importance that the layer also has magnetic properties, so that magnetic sensors, together with their terminals, can be manu factured in a single operation. For some applica tions, it may be of importance that commonly used solders and the layer, while combining very well, do not dissolve in each other and, thus, can be sepa rated again residue-free, while in conventional sol dered joints, inseparable alloys are formed between the solder and the joint.
The layer of the invention and the method of producing the layer will now be described, by way of example only, and then some devices incorporating 115 such layers will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a top view of a magnetic sensor deposited as a layer in accordance with the invention on a glass substrate and having four leads and four 120 solder pads; Figure 2 is a sectional view of a feedthrough insulator having a layer deposited in accordance with the invention for bringing a conductor inside a vacuum vessel, and Figure 3 is a sectional view of a glass-fibre mounting employing a deposited layer in accord ance with the invention.
We have discovered that readily solderable and, above all, very well adhering contact layers for 130 thin-film circuits can be formed by depositing thin layers of an alloy consisting of metals and metalloids and that such deposition can be effectively carried out by evaporation or sputtering The adhesion of such a layer to the base has been found to be quite sufficient if the layer is deposited by evaporation. However, because of the simplicity of the process, not because of the even better result, sputtering is preferred. The metals cobalt and iron and the metalloids boron, silicon, and germanium have proved to be particularly well suited. A suitable proportion of the metals approximately 60 to 90 at.% preferably 80 at.%. Particularly well suited alloys are those of cobalt and boron and alloys consisting of cobalt, iron, and boron, such as CoJeVI3100-X-Y, where 705 x 5 80 and 4:5 Y:5 10 (x and y in at.%).
Figure 1 shows a glass substrate 1 which supports a magnetic sensor 2 together with its connections. The sensor 2 is a circular area. It has four radially outwardly extending leads 3, which are spaced at 90' intervals. At its outer end, each of the leads 3 has a solder pad 4. The sensor 2, together with its leads 3 and the solder pads 4, is formed by depositing a thin layer of an amorphous metal, C075Fe51320, in a single operation. During the deposition of the layer, the glass substrate 1 is situated in a magnetic field whose direction is parallel to either of the two lead pairs. It thus shows magnetic anisotropy, which can be described by an anisotropic field Hk. If a current is passed through the sensor 2 parallel to Hk, and the sensor is placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to Hk in the plane of the sensor, a voltage from which the magnitude of the applied magnetic field is determinable can be taken off in a direction perpen- dicular to Hk. In the case of especially long leads 3, the latter may be of a different material such as aluminium. The sensor 2 and the solder pads 4, on the one hand, and the leads 3, on the other hand, must then be produced in separate operations.
Figure 2 shows a conductor 11 fed through a "vacuum flange" 12. The conductor 11 may be of platinum, for example and where it passes through the vacuum flange 12 it is sealed in a glass envelope 13 having a solder layer 14 on its outside. The solder layer is formed in accordance with the invention and is an alloy consisting of about 80 at.% of cobalt and 20 at.% of boron. The vacuum flange 12 is soldered to the solder layer 14, so that a feedthrough insulator for a vacuum vessel is obtained.
By a similar technique, an optical fibre of glass can be mounted, as shown in Figure 3. A glass fibre 21 is provided with a soldering layer 23 of CoB in the vicinity of a soldering sleeve 22. The soldering layer 23 and the soldering sleeve 22 are soldered together.
